A new version is out: Valkey™ 9.0. For more information about revisions, see the Valkey™ documentation.
Added support for:
- Valkey-Search: Vector and full-text search.
- Valkey-JSON: Native work with JSON documents.

When creating a Valkey™ user, you can now immediately specify their permissions. Do it with the help of an ACL (Access Control List) which controls the user's permissions to run particular commands.
Added integration with Connection Manager. This tool allows you to connect to the cluster without directly using a password, thus reducing the risk of it being compromised.
Added the ability to restore a sharded cluster from a backup.

Now you can encrypt storage disks with a custom KMS key when creating a cluster and restoring it from a backup.
Added support for persistence on replicas only.

A new version is out: Valkey™ 8.1. For more information about revisions, see the Valkey™ documentation.

You can now create clusters with public access. You can enable or update this setting at the host level and only for clusters with TLS support.
You can now manage persistence settings. If persistence is disabled, a cluster's performance is higher but so is the risk of losing data. For more information, see the Persistence section.
